Abstract

Abstract Objective: Electromagnetic Field sources which are widely used as part of the operating mechanism occupational exposure occurs with the electricity is generated, distributed or usage in the everyday environment. We aimed to obtain the Extremely Low Frequency-Magnetic Field exposure profile for dental health workers from electrical devices used in dentistry. Methods: Measurements were performed while appliances under working conditions, 10 cm distance with the device for 6 minutes and for 7 days. The highest measured value in every 10 second was recorded. The mean ± SD of minimum and maximum Extremely Low Frequency-Magnetic Field for high-speed dental handpiece with LED, low-speed dental handpiece, model-trimming machine, automatic boil-out unit, steam machine, vacuum device, and polishing machine were recorded in milliGauss. Results: The values which obtains from model-trimming machine and polishing machine were remarkable (809.17 ± 37.70 / 975.00 ± 10.27, 649.33 ± 201.37 / 1367.00 ± 32.17, respectively). Conclusion: The results show that periodic Electromagnetic Field exposure measurements should be conducted to obtain more detailed information about workplace exposures and sources. Keywords: Health, electromagnetic field, extremely low-frequency field, exposure, occupational

职业性暴露于牙科设备电磁场:一项描述性研究

摘要# x0D;& # x0D;目的:电磁场源作为操作机构的一部分，在日常环境中随着电力的产生、分配或使用而发生职业暴露。我们的目的是获得牙科卫生工作者从牙科使用的电子设备的极低频磁场暴露剖面。& # x0D;方法:测量器具在工作条件下，与仪器保持10cm距离，测量6分钟，测量7天。记录了每10秒内的最高测量值。记录高速LED牙科手机、低速牙科手机、模型切边机、自动蒸汽机、蒸汽机、真空装置、抛光机的极低频磁场最小值和最大值平均值±SD，单位为毫高斯。& # x0D;结果:模型切边机和抛光机的测量值分别为809.17±37.70 / 975.00±10.27、649.33±201.37 / 1367.00±32.17。结论:结果表明，应定期进行电磁场暴露测量，以获得更详细的工作场所暴露和来源信息。 & # x0D;关键词:健康;电磁场;极低频场
